At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the gross value of goodwill was $64.7 million. Accumulated impairment losses totaling $50.3 million as of December 31,
2014 and 2013 were related to the Wireless segment. The deconsolidation of CyrusOne in January 2013 resulted in the divestiture of $276.2 million of
goodwill. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

licenses with a carrying value of $88.2 million.

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $2.5 million in 2014, $3.6 million in 2013, and $18.6 million in 2012. The
deconsolidation of CyrusOne in January 2013 resulted in the divestiture of customer relationships, trademarks and a favorable leasehold interest with net
book values of $91.7 million, $6.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the remaining useful life for the Wireless trademark
was reduced to 30 months as of December 31, 2013. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2014, following the agreement to sell our wireless spectrum
licenses and certain other assets, we further reduced the remaining useful life of the Wireless trademark to be fully amortized as of March 31, 2015. The
change in the useful life resulted in approximately $1 million of additional expense in 2014.
